Mystery - Plot
Noir...everything else.
For the Pepper remix:
a.) Not deleting the 'Classic' version - so relax...
b.) They're going back a generation on original mix elements that four-track mixdown technology didn't let them do back then. That's kewl. Also - making a Stereo presentation of the Mono mix - which was the primary one.
That's all good.
- & the packaging looks crazy awesome too.
Oh & kewl session outakes...
